I caught the intentional "typo" right away, and I think having the lower black part fade out actully accentuates the illusion of his being struck by a beam from heaven. I would have thought that even the typical four-second viewing would have been long enough for more people to "get it."

Still, although I'll be happy next time I get a top-20 finish, this could easily have been a top-10.

What can I say Giedrius. I missed it.
I looked the picture over several times, with Touched by an "Angel" in my brain, and all I saw was what looked like the metal measuring device on a doctor's scale. Kept missing the humor in the picture alone.
I was one of the (gulp) 23 that voted this a 4.

I guess this was a bit too subtle for the masses, but I still say it's hilarious...clearly the funniest one in the challenge. also a well taken shot.

When I'm the boss of everything, photos like this will win ribbons.

P-ness.

Thank you all who voted and left comments. I wonder how many people actually read it as "Touched by the Angel"? :-) I wanted to show how absurd something may be when one letter in the word is misplaced.

I wish that angle tool was more visible than it is, but I could not do much about it since the bottom part of it is painted black and it blends in with the darkness.

I am sorry. This image should have taken a ribbon. The consolation of top 20 will have to do but keep up the spirit. You are the scoring type.
Your work is nice, your time is at hand.

Very impressive and very well executed. The model, pose, the prop and the lighting have come together here to produce not only a funny image, but a work of art. I have you in place holder and will return with final score. Likely ribbon. Bumping higher.

Excellent use of light, shape and form...but I don't get the angel part. Is this a measuring device on a scale? Is angel used as a term for the insturment resting on his head? Is Angel the name of a company making doctor's scales? Or am I misunderstanding what's going on here? Perhaps it's a spelling error? Maybe you were saying "Touched By An Angle?" That I would find funny! I'll say 7 just for the strength of the lighting. But, that's only because a 6.5 is not an option...LOL

Ok... took me a second, but very funny! Great exposure and lighting, and I'm a sucker for a pun. 10.
